OAKLAND — An e-waste event at the Overstock.com Coliseum will be a win-win for people who donate old televisions, computers, telephones, monitors, printers and fax machines Saturday, organizers said.

Portions of the proceeds will benefit youth recreation programs with the city of Oakland’s Office of Parks and Recreation. There will be a carnival for kids with bounce houses and slides, face painting, food, games and prizes, said Black Hole Fan Club President Rob Rivera.

The event is sponsored by the city, the fan club, Hi Point Sports, Metech Recycling and Big O Tires, which paid for the lot, Rivera said. Metech Recycling will have teams out collecting the items from people’s cars between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Oakland Coliseum.

The first 500 people to bring in items will receive a pair of Oakland A’s tickets. The Oakland Raiders have also donated T-shirts, which will be distributed once the tickets are gone.
